Fun, fun! Thanks. I have some leftover fabric from the girls' Easter skirts. I think I have a plan for those leftovers now. Thanks again. I can't wait to see the pictures of the quilt. You're amazing to get it finished like that.
I've always been the "creative type," I just didn't know it! Growing up we didn't have much, but I can remember having a love for crafting. It wasn't until my first year in college when I stumbled upon a beginning graphic design class that led me down a completely different road and opened up new doors I never even knew existed.
After I left college, the time was right to start a family. A very nice lady invited me to come to her house to make a quilt for my new baby boy. This lovely stranger became my best friend as we sat at the quilting frame stitching and chatting while our babies played nearby. This was my first experience with quilting and I was hooked! I realized that hand quilting was not for me and bought my first sewing machine. I've been quilting ever since!
I get to use all that I learned in my college art classes to design my profile silhouettes and quilt patterns. I get to stay home and raise my three wonderful children and yet I get to spend time every day being creative! My goal is to share my talents with you to, hopefully, inspire the creative impulse within you so that you too can create wonderful heirlooms to pass on to your children and grandchildren.
